Item Description
Cuprian austinite is the rare copper-rich varietal of this rare calcium-zinc arsenate. Some of the finest examples of the species come from the famous Mina Ojuela and this is a large and fine specimen. Scintillating, translucent, nubby, spheridal aggregates of olive-green cover the sculptural, elongated gossan matrix on this very rich and showy large piece from the Dave Stoudt Collection. valued $750
